Abstract: The interest value of elements (e.g. eyes, mouth or hand of another avatar) in a virtual environment are periodically calculated dependent upon one or more factors (s210). At least one of the factors depends on a relationship between the element and the avatar. The element with the highest interest value is selected (s220), and a representation of the avatar's eyes is caused to point at the selected element within the virtual environment (s230). The factor(s) may include a value indicative of whether the element is within the current field of view of the user represented by the avatar, a value responsive to the element-avatar distance, a value indicative of an unobstructed line of sight to the element, a value proportional to the time that the element has previously been selected as most interesting, and, where the element is another avatar, a value indicative of whether the other avatar is on a friend list of the given avatar. The factor may comprise values(s) corresponding to a change in volume, position or behaviour, or a value proportional to the number of avatars for which the element is currently selected as the most interesting.
